So I'm piecing together a little 2.7i and going the super eta piston route, which, as i understand will net a 8.5 compression ratio. My question is, will decking the block and/or head within acceptable tolerances net me a large enough compression gain to warrant the retardation in timing that will occur?
If not, what are the alternative means to gain back that timing? I've heard about doing something to the cam gear but I haven't seen many details. I doubt it's as easy as rotating off one tooth on the timing belt (i think that restards or advances 3 degrees?) I suppose it could be remedied with an adjustable timing gear but im trying to avoid any....relatively costly parts.
Input appreciated!
